Finished tondo's work at Muse Gallery and online today at ​https://www.museart.nz/playtime?mc_cid=fef21338c5&mc_eid=70c0971912 Click on the photo to view larger image.

My work is so susceptible to light conditions, because of the mix of materials and surfaces I use. My photographs look quite different to those on the gallery website as mine show the surface shine which give the works depth. But you would see that in the gallery! Looking at a photograph is never a substitute for seeing a work because artwork has an aura in real life that cannot be rendered in pixels.

I loved working on these surfaces, ( in my new studio) and it might be a direction I explore further. The 'tondo' shape led me to thinking about the cosmos, how potent images of planets still are as political statements, reminders of our insignificance, how we are all witnessing this time on earth and see the celestial bodies that work in unison to sustain us.
